My thought was that if Leo is a premier platform for editing rst, as we
like to believe it is, it should work as an environment for editing
documentation for Leo, by anyone.  One requirement would be to avoid
forcing the user to set up bzr / ssh / launchpad.  That part could
probably be handled by Leo itself.

I like DokuWiki well enough, used it once long ago, but I think we need
to think hard before tying ourselves to having things running on
platform XYZ.  If we revamp Leo's hosting say by moving from LP to
bitbucket, there'd be a strong argument for accepting bitbucket's wiki
system, whatever it is.

Right now I don't think we have developer time for any major changes,
unless we add more developers... :-)

I understand you're trying to avoid using developer time here,
and I suppose in theory the DokuWiki stuff could be completely separate
from the Leo distribution process and require no developer input beyond
responding to requests to check new content.  But Leo already has way
too many homes on the web, so we need plan carefully before adding more.

Cheers -Terry
